The Era of Generals

"kill!"

The battle for the other two auxiliary gates of Bo'an City started at the same time.

As mentioned earlier, Bo'an City is built on the mountain, and the two auxiliary city gates are blocked by the mountain, and the degree of construction is only half of that of the main city gate, and the mountain is steep, which is easier to defend than the main city gate. attack.

Therefore, although there are only 100,000 defenders reserved for the deputy city gate, they can still keep calm when they see an enemy army twice as large as their own.

The same tactics, but because the terrain on the side of the deputy city gate is narrower and easier for the defenders to defend, the number of stormtroopers sent by the generals in charge of the attack on both sides surged to 50,000!

This is also impossible.

Although the number of trebuchets at the top of the city is not as large as that at the main city gate, it is still an exaggerated number. It is impossible to get close to the moat amidst the flaming boulders falling like a violent storm without a lot of lives.

This is the geographical advantage occupied by the defenders in siege warfare, and it is also the price that the siege side will pay most of the time.

Orders continued to shuttle across the battlefield on both sides, sending news back to Zhang Chengwang in real time.

"So, there is nothing unusual about Bo'an City!"

After hearing the messenger's report, before Zhang Chengwang opened his mouth, there were generals beside him who couldn't help but glared at Guo Zi and the two of them.

Unlike Feng Wuna and other generals who focused on the way of generals, when Zhang Chengwang said that there must be changes in three days, many generals in the tent actually probably guessed the reason.

And today's siege battle, to put it bluntly, is that Zhang Chengwang is using the lives of his own soldiers to test this change.

There are three city gates with a total strength of 600,000 troops. I wonder if they can withdraw half of them after this battle?

That is to say, because of the intelligence of Guo Zi and his wife, the Zhu Yan Empire will lose nearly 300,000 troops for nothing!

Although there is a huge force of more than 2 million gathered outside Bo'an City at the moment, this is human life after all, not simple addition and subtraction.

Just because of the false information brought back by these two nasty guys?

After seeing the orderly response of Bo'an City, there were many experienced generals on the spot who could already see that the city gate could not be captured.

Unless Zhang Chengwang increases his troops to attack the city.

But is this still necessary?

Bo'an City is still the same Bo'an City, and it still has an overwhelming advantage in defense. If they increase their troops, will the opponent's reinforcements be less?

Once the two phases are offset, the losers are still those attacking parties who can only fight with their lives. In the end, after the excessive loss of troops, not to mention attacking the city, whether they can retreat completely is a problem.

So things seem to be back to square one.

It is possible to besiege the city, but Bo'an City does not have more troops to go out to fight, but it is not possible to siege the city, and I also do not have enough troops on my side to take down Bo'an City.

The only difference is that they lost 300,000 troops!

And all this, who is to blame?

The generals who glared at Guo Zi and Guo Zi angrily wished they could rush up and tear them apart, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve their hatred!

"No, wait first."

Zhang Chengwang stared coldly at the direction of Bo'an City, waved his hand to stop some impulsive generals, and said in a deep thought: "If there is no change...in fact, there is."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the eyes of the other generals came together, and there was no doubt or question in them.

Zhang Chengwang didn't answer, but just stared in the direction of Bo'an City Gate.

There, Zhu Yan's assault team, which had lost nearly four-fifths of its manpower, finally went ashore!

More than 10,000 soldiers, after a short sprint of a few hundred meters, only less than 2,000 soldiers were able to reach the bottom of Bo'an City!

But this is not the end.

The two thousand people didn't just cross the moat, they also shouldered the formidable task of lowering the suspension bridge for the large troops behind to attack the city.

At this time, the defenders on the tower were also in a hurry. Many archers stretched out half of their bodies condescendingly and shot arrows down. The copper oil poured down, and all kinds of defensive methods were used.

except...

Zhang Chengwang's eyes narrowed slightly, what he was looking at was not the charging soldiers who were clinging to the city wall and struggling forward, but what he was looking at was the gate of Bo'an City.

Of course, he couldn't see the door now.

After the huge suspension bridge connecting Bo'an City and the outside world was raised, the main city gate was covered by the suspension bridge, but Zhang Chengwang's eyes seemed to have the ability to penetrate, passing through the suspension bridge, and falling tightly on the main city gate.

"The main city gate...is not open."

Zhang Chengwang shook his head, frowning slightly.

"The main city gate?"

The generals also looked over there. Although everyone couldn't see the main city gate through the suspension bridge, they could infer from the situation under the city wall.

There are no soldiers from Bo'an City outside the city walls!

Seeing this, the generals who thought there was no change also bowed their heads in thought.

The importance of the suspension bridge in Bo'an City is self-evident. If the stormtroopers lower the suspension bridge, the effect of the moat will be weakened by more than 60%, giving Zhu Yan's army the opportunity to directly charge through the city gate.

So the suspension bridge is absolutely not to be missed.

However, even so, the defenders on the tower only used long-range means to deal with the enemy under the city wall. Even if they saw the opponent clinging to the city wall and holding up a huge shield, they defended against a large number of attacks and approached the suspension bridge step by step. .

These stormtrooper soldiers are also extremely experienced, and they stuck tightly to the city wall as soon as they landed. Moreover, although the huge shield was raised high above their heads, it was also slightly inclined, which can be used as a buffer to beat wood and roll stones. Ignore Arrow Rain and Copper Hole Offensive.

At this time, the shields of most of Zhu Yan's soldiers were ignited by the copper oil, but for them who were hiding under them, except that the shield handles became hotter and hotter, they could hold on for the time being.

Under such a storm-like attack, Zhu Yan's soldiers gritted their teeth and approached the suspension bridge step by step.

It is said that at this time, the commander on the tower can see the situation under the city wall at a glance.

Then, in order to protect the suspension bridge, it is a safer approach for him to let the soldiers rush out of the city gate, quickly deal with the two thousand people and then retreat.

After all, there is a moat blocking the way, and there are definitely not many soldiers from the Zhu Yan Empire who can attack under the city wall at the same time, and they have enough time to react.

Furthermore, the terrain of Bo'an City is like a funnel, the wider it goes out, so this is also the reason why it is difficult for Bo'an City to fight back after the Zhuyan Empire occupied the periphery.

At the same time, the soldiers they poured out of the city gate were definitely not as many as the opponent's. If you fight more with less, it's better to stick to the city wall.

But the enemy has already attacked under the city wall, but they say nothing.

This is equivalent to the fact that the Zhuyan Empire also has no extra space to arrange more troops. In terms of terrain, the two sides are actually pulled to the same level.

That being the case, why not send troops out of the city?

If Bo'an City still has more than two million defenders, why worry about this consumption?

The commander on the tower did not dare to open the city to fight, so what was he worrying about?
